Franz, B&S;, TVOTR, Pipettes Play La Route du Rock

All aboard! It's time for a trip down La Route du Rock. To your left, you'll see Liars, Mogwai, Calexico, Islands, Why?, and Grizzly Bear. Hey, look straight ahead! It's Belle & Sebastian, TV on the Radio, Cat Power & the Memphis Rhythm Band, the Pipettes, and more. And to the right, you can see Franz Ferdinand, Band of Horses, Television Personalities, the Spinto Band, Isobell Campbell...it goes on. Those choosing to put their arm out the window must hold their hands in \m/ \m/ at all times. ROCK.

This Friday, the La Route du Rock festival will kick off in Saint-Malo France. The three-day event runs through Sunday evening and is home to a most brag-worthy lineup. Artists will perform at le Fort de Saint-Père, le Palais du Grand Large, and the Beach Fnac.

We are extremely jealous of French people right now.
